Shannon Miller is constantly connecting and collaborating with others outside the walls of Van Meter School in Iowa. She hears these types of questions often, “How do you make these connections? How do you plan with someone 1,000 miles away?”, “How do you keep yourself organized?" and “How do you connect the teachers within your school to other teachers?” In this presentation, Shannon will answer these questions and more by having a conversation about her successful collaboration with other librarians, teachers, students, authors and others around the world. She will share tools, social networks and tips on how to bring global collaboration and connections into your schools. By hearing the stories that Shannon has to share, you will see that anyone can do this by being positive, organized, proactive and not afraid to make a difference.
